BlueCoiner - a scammer, an impostor who uses a stolen or bought account previously owned by the developer of the BlueCoin, and thereby deceives users, trying to sell them something that he actually does not have.
passhunter, as an injured person, created a flag of the second type. Please support this flag.

This scam has become well known in the Russian section, but since this scammer is also trying to sell in the English section, I believe that in this section it is worth informing the community. Why is the investigation mine, and the flag is from another user? Because I was already investigating this user and literally a day before the publication, I found out that on another forum someone was caught on a scam from
BlueCoiner. I contacted the victim and he told me all the details. And then he created flag 2nd type with a link to my topic.
Now in order.
BlueCoiner created 3 forum threads. 2 in English, 1 in Russian:
Archive: https://archive.fo/nSt9JClassics of the genre. All topics are self-moderated and all objectionable answers there are quickly deleted, including the accusations from
passhunter. The behavior of a typical scammer. Initially, the scammer asked for 1
BTC:
Price: 1 BTC
Then the price became 0.2
BTC:

And after he scammed
passhunter, the price has already become 0.1
BTC. It is noteworthy that the scammer finally agreed to 0.01
BTC. I think a real project developer would not offer a 99% discount. Obviously, prices are constantly dropping to attract potential victims faster. The scam itself occurred in the telegram, and the victim learned about the project from the xss forum, where there was a similar announcement about the sale of the project, and with links to the topic in bitcointalk:
https://xss.is/members/203200/BlueCoiner on the xss forum registered on August 6, 2020. And on this forum
BlueCoiner created a topic with the sale on July 7, 2020, that is, the difference is only a month. Telegram scammer:
https://t.me/bluecoint. When we go to this address, we see this:

The scammer also created a sales channel with the same data:


I checked. Indeed, such channels exist and they are likewise signed without any additional signs and registers. Then the buyer enters into correspondence with the scammer:
ENG:passhunter: Hello, about your project
scammer: Hi, I'm listening
passhunter: tell us about support, what will be the costs after buying the server, what is the relevance of the project as a whole?
scammer: the relevance is normal, if you make a pre-sale, then you can immediately cover all costs, $ 1,000 is enough. I will also transfer all accesses, e-mail boxes, literature + FAQ. BTC address: 1LYV1HyHBkq6VhxtiCggoCvvSdLVA7aVN
passhunter: How much will self-sustaining project cost per month? What are the consumables?
scammer: everything is paid for a year in advance, about $ 200 per month, about $ 50 for servers and domains
passhunter: Check btc balance
scammer: ok
What happened next? And then the scammer just deleted the chat and disappeared. The correspondence contains the address to which you need to drop the same 0.01
BTC:
1LYV1HyHBkq6VhxtiCggoCvvSdLVA7aVN
Checking the address:
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1LYV1HyHBkq6VhxtiCggoCvvSdLVA7aVN, transaction
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/ae771fd872d2c3e373c2711df87335bfa5df586a6a0ce4208edf793715a8feb3Indeed, 0.01
BTC was transferred to the specified address:

After the scam was identified, on the forum xss
BlueCoiner was banned with the mark
cheater. Also, the administration of the forum published some data on the scammer, his used addresses, e-mail and his alt.


Why did this scam happen? I asked
passhunter why he didn't use escrow, why he trusted the scammer so quickly. He replied that
BlueCoiner has a long-standing registration on this forum and from his posts it seemed clear that this is the developer. After all, the sale was carried out from the same account as when the updates on the project were published. And that means this is the same person. But it's not that simple. Now I will prove that
BlueCoiner is no longer
BlueCoiner and the account changed its owner long ago.
Account
BlueCoiner was registered on April 22, 2014, 06:14:17 AM. The developer of this coin actually wrote from the account, communication with the community was constantly maintained and all sorts of project updates were made. In 2016
BlueCoiner reported that the site is working again:
Archive: https://archive.fo/3OELr#selection-4461.0-4461.22Go to the site
https://bluecoin.io and see that it doesn't smell like a sale of the project. And all these updates were published until July 27, 2019. Then in
BPIP we see the following:
2/12/2020 9:33:39 PM password reset via email
2/15/2020 8:57:10 AM password changed
5/27/2020 3:30:59 PM password changed
Then the password changes and the account abruptly begins to speak Russian. At this moment, the account already belongs to another person, a scammer, who is trying to disguise himself as the owner of the project and thus deceive gullible users.
Conclusion: The scammer is lying and he has nothing, only words, the account used to belong to an English-speaking user, but in 2020 the account passed into the hands of another person, the password was changed several times and the Russian language of communication was added, also almost simultaneously with the appearance of the topic about selling on this forum, a similar thread was also posted on another xss forum. Support the second level flag from
passhunter that he is a scammer and an impostor.
